My friend and I spent two nights at Jing's place and we enjoyed it and it was perfect for our needs. It got great sunlight, the beds were comfy, and we loved that we each had our own bathroom. I also appreciated the equipped kitchen as I was able to make tea and eggs at home.

Jing is the sweetest host and stopped by after we checked in to answer all of our questions. She also arranged taxis for us to the airport for our departures which was above and beyond and very appreciated as we would not have known how to arrange that on our own.

She has also created a booklet with hand drawn maps of all of the best places in the neighborhood. DEFINITELY use this as I went out for a wander alone before seeing her advice and I was really disappointed. This neighborhood is adorable and has excellent food, but you do have to know where to go.

We absolutely loved the Ari neighborhood as it was a respite from the busier neighborhoods in BKK. If you're the type of traveler that enjoys a more "local" feeling experience, I highly recommend this neighborhood and Jing's apartment.

I also appreciated the gym+pool. They are nothing special but they do the trick! I would stay here again and it's recommended.
